Service accounts enable external and other internal services to interact with applications in a secure way using the least privilege required for tasks. In OpenText Identity Governance, you can reference an existing service account via Client ID and map that service account to internal OpenText Identity Governance authorizations to enable various integration tasks. For example, you can configure the SCIM Streaming Collector template to use service accounts to get identities from external SCIM repos . For more information about SCIM Streaming Collector, see OpenText Collectors and Fulfillers Configuration Guide.
